b) The Sun also pulls on Earth and combines its force with the Moon.
c) The Sun and Moon are pulling on Earth equally.
d) The Sun also pulls on the Moon and combines its force with the Earth.
Which of the following best explains why the Earth is experiencing higher high tides and lower low tides during spring tides?
a) The Sun also pulls on Earth and combines its force with the Moon.
b) The Sun and Moon are pulling on Earth in different directions.
c) The Sun and Moon are pulling on Earth equally

Which of the following best explains why planets in the Solar system are moving in elliptical orbits?
a) The Sun’s gravitational attraction, along with the planet’s inertia.
b) The Sun's inertia, along with the planets gravitational attraction.
c) The Sun's gravitational attraction
d) The Planets inertia
Which of the following best explains the difference between the inner and outer planets speed in the Solar system?
a) The inner planets are closer to the Sun and orbit faster because the gravitational attraction is greater.
b) The inner planets are closer to the Sun and orbit faster because the gravitational attraction is weaker.
c) The inner planets are closer to the Sun and orbit slower because the gravitational attraction is greater.
d) The inner planets are closer to the Sun and orbit slower because the gravitational attraction is weaker.
Which of the following best explains why the tidal bulges on Earth are larger closest to the Moon compared to the tidal bulges closest to the Sun?
